The Bay of Quinte Skyway Bridge will bee closed to traffic from 6 a.m. on Monday Nov. 30 until 6 a.m. on Wednesday Dec. 2 at 6 a.m. due to ongoing construction.
This closure is required to complete the final concrete placement to connect the two new decks together prior to final paving before reopening the two lanes to traffic. Due to unpredictable temperatures and the high-performance concrete being used for this concrete placement, excessive vibrations need to be reduced until the concrete has reached requires strength for traffic to cross the bridge, which can take up to 48 hours at this time of year.
During these time periods the highway will be closed, and no traffic will be permitted to pass over the bridge. Please refer to the following website for the Glenora Ferry as an alternative route: http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/ontario-511/ferries.shtml. Emergency Services are kindly requested to follow the protocol outlined with Aecon should they be required to cross the bridge during these times.
